The D’Light Run, a 5K and 1 Mile Walk through the streets of Little Italy in Cleveland, is Saturday, May 26th, 2018 at 8:00 AM. This family-friendly event starts at Tony Brush Park in Little Italy and is a fundraiser honoring a former student of Cleveland Montessori School.

All participants receive a race T-shirt, and are invited to enjoy an after race party in Tony Brush Park to celebrate the life and legacy of Demetrius Cameron Lee Smith. Refreshments will be served after the race, while participants enjoy a DJ, complimentary massages, and other vendor surprises.

Awards will be presented to the overall male and female winners, along with age category awards for the top three male and female in each.

The event benefits the Demetrius Cameron-Lee Smith Scholarship Fund at Cleveland Montessori. The fund was created to benefit students deserving a quality education at the school. To date, over $12,000 in scholarships has been awarded to deserving students at Cleveland Montessori. Demetrius, known as “D” by those who knew and loved him, was a former student at the Montessori school from age 3 years old to 13 years old. He courageously fought brain cancer from age 2 1/2 and tragically lost his battle in 2008.
